Yesterday the naval transport Dove went alongside the Anchor-wharf at Chatham Dockyard and shipped the ma terials for a new description of box target, which is to be erected at Shoeburyness, for the purpose of being tested under the direction of the Ordnance Select Committee. A party of mechanics and workmen left the dockyard in the Dove yesterday for the purpose of erecting the target at Shoeburyness. The remains of the Lord Warden target which was destroyed at Shoeburyness a short time since will be shipped on board the Dove, and conveyed to Chat ham Dockyard, there to be finally taken to pieces, the Lords of the Admiralty having abandoned their intention of having the target repaired. The screw corvette Scout, 21, 1,4.12 tons, 400 horse power, which is undergoing some extensive repairs at Sheerness Dockyard, is ordered to be fitted with a poop, in addition to her topgallant forecastle. It is rumoured at Chatham that she is intended for a flagship, an! will most probably be the Commodore's ship on the West Coast of Africa. We have to record the death of Vice Admiral Drake on Saturday last, at Bath. He was an the retired list, and was born in December, 1788. He entered the navy in July, 1804, and as midshipman was on board the Defiance in Calder's action at Trafalgar ; and at the destruction of three French frigates off Sables d'Olonne, in 1809. He commanded a boat at the recapture of the Ellison timber ship, by cut. ting her out from Palais Herbour, Belleisle. As lieu tenant of the Northumberland he was present at the destruction of two frigates off L'Orient, and was much em ployed in boat service against the enemy's coasting trade. He was also at the disembarkatio n at Corunna, and in Par ker's expedition to Ferrol, and was senior lieutenant of the Albion at the battle of Navarino, for which he was pro moted to the rank of commander. His commissions bore date as follows :—Lieutenant, t4ugust 1, 1811; Comman der, October 22, 1827; Captain, March, 21, 1835; Rear- Admiral (retired list), February 14, 1857; and Vice-Ad miral, September 12, ISG3.

The Glamorganshire Volunteers had their annual review on Fort Talbot-moors on Tuesday afternoon. Colonel Egerton, of Pembroke Dock, was the officer in command, and he was accompanied by Colonel Talbot, M.P., Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and other officers. The whole force numbered about 3,000, or 700 more than last year. Tho usual evo lutions were gone through, after which the men were formed in three sides of a square, spectators occupying the fourth, and they were addressed by Colonel Egerton, who complimented them on their efficiency, and said the movements they had gone through would not disgrace more prac tised hands. The LordZieutenant followed with some complimentary remarks, and then distributed the prizes to the successful competitors. The fol. lowing were the first prizes—Artillery great gun prize, £2O, to the 2d Glamorgan Artillery Volun- , tears; second do., £lO to the let Glamorgan ; short range, £lO to private Edward Thomas; long range, £2O, Corporal Edward Jones ; Lord.-Lieut.'s prize, £2O. Private Douthwaite ; Lord Lieut.'s prize of £5O and champion medal to Sergeant Resher ; Lieut. Colonel Grenfell's prize, £5 55., Corporal R. Jones, Ladies' prize, £2O cup, Colour Sergeant Williams ; field officers' prize, Major Talbot ; all comers' prize, £2O, Corporal E. G. Williams. The 3d administrative battalion of the West York Volunteers, under the command of Lieut. Colonel Holdsworth, were inspected by Lieut. Colonel Har man, the inspecting officer of the district, on M on . day week, on Heath Common, near Wakefield. At the inspection a year ago the five corps composing the battalion—Wakefield, Dewsbury, Birstal, Selby and Goole—mustered 391, while this year, with one corps less, Selby, and that forming one of the strongest companies in the battalion, the number of men on parade was 475. After the battalion had been put through several movements, Col, Harman addressed the offisers and men and spoke very warmly of the very fine muster which was shown ; in fact, he said the batallion was the largest he had inspected this year ; and it was perhaps owing to the large number of recruits which must of neces sity be among them that in one or two instances they had shown signs of unsteadiness. On the whole, their drill and efficiency were such that he should feel bound to report very favourably of their bearing to the Secretary of State for War. A good contest at the rifle shooting took place near Halifax on Wednesday lest between ten of the Halifax and ten Rochdale Volunteer Rifle Corps. The ranges competed at were 200 and 500 yds, seven shots at each distance, Wimbledon scoring., In con sequence of the absence of three members of the Rochdale club the averages for the absentees had to be added to the scores at the conclusion of the shooting of the squad. The shooting on the whole was excellent ; indeed, there were as many as eight bull's-eyes got at the first range, and nine out of ten at the second. The Halifax party won by 13. The highest scores, 54 each, were made by Mr. Harrison, Mr. Clements, and Mr. Thomas, all beloeging to the Halifax corps.

The redoubt with its heavy guns worked in embrasures which com manded every point of approach might probably have been able to take care of itself; but in rear of it was posted a strong infantry force consisting of the 2d Essex Administrative Battalion (Victoria Docks) 300 strong, commanded by Col. Capper; 41st Middlesex (Enfield Lock), 300, Capt. Senly ; and the 3d London, 270, Captain Brett. The duty of representing the " enemy" was assigned to the Ist Essex Administrative Battalion, about 200 strong, commanded by Colonel Sir Claude de Crespigny, and comprising the corps from Colches ter, Chelmsford, Witham, Braintree, Maldon, and Dedham. Altogether the Volunteer force amounted to about 2,000. By the special permission of the Admiralty, the Magnet gunboat (tender to her Majesty's ship Pembroke, stationed at Harwich) was allowed to co-operate in the demonstration, so that there was at least a semblance of a sea attack as well as that on land. The plan or idea which the operations were intended to work was a very simple one. The enemy was supposed to have effected an unopposed landing below Dovercoart, and to have first shown himself in rear of Colonel Palmer's six-gun battery. A sharp fight took place, but eventually the guns were so far silenced that a couple of corps (Braintree and Chelmsford) were deemed sufficient to keep them engaged, while the main body made a flank movement in the direction of the redoubt. As soon as this design was dis covered the heavy guns of the fortifications were brought into'play, and at the same time the battery on Beacon-hill was engaged by the Magnet. The firing of the garrison was very rapid and well sus tained, but the enemy pressed on to the very foot of the mound, and had begun the ascent (the draw bridge being raised at their approach), when the defending force of infantry, under Colonel Capper, was brought against them, and by dint of over. whelming numbers compelled retreat to the original position at Dovercourt, where the invader was sup. posed to be finally defeated. General Guy, from Colchester garrison, who was sent down by the War-office to direct the movements of the day, then took up his position at the flagstaff, and the entire force marched past in open column. All the moves ments:were very efficiently carried out, and obtained the warm commendation of the General in com mand, the only point of complaint being that in one or two corps there was talking in the ranks, which ho hoped would be avoided in future. The General added that he felt proud of commanding so fine a body of men, and although about to proceed to China he hoped he should live to meet them three years hence on some similar occasion. General Guy was attended by Brigade Major Vacher, from Col chester garrison, and Captain Pender, sth Fusiliers, was aide-de-camp. In Suffolk the Ipswich corps has resumed its class-shooting. A challenge cup and a prize of £5 given by the mayor of Ipswich (Mr G. C. E. Bacon) were won by Private Ilaward, who also holds a monthly challenge cup. The fifth annual meeting fur prize shooting of the Framliegham corps took place on Thursday. A silver snuffbox was shot for at 150 and 250 yards by third class men, and was won by Sergeant Garneys. The second con test was for a silver watch open :,to the effective members of the corps, and was won by Private Pendle. The third contest was confined to first- class Volunteers and those who had obtained eight points in the previous match. The prize was won by Private Ashford. The prizes were distributed by Mrs. Austin.

Naval and Military Intelligence, In accordance with instructions received at the head quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment at Chatham, a number of non-commissioned officers and men were yes terday selected from the depot and other companies at Brompton Barracks to proceed to St. Helena, for the pur pose of being employed, with the Royal Engineers at pre sent at that station, in the construction of the additional fortifications and other defensive works now in progress at the island. The 32d Company, which has been stationed at St. Helena for some time, will proceed to the Mauritius to relieve the 25th Company, which returns to England on the completion of its period of colonial service, the company having been absent nine years. The detachments selected for service at St. Helena consist of masons, miners, brick layers, and other artificers of that class. Yesterday the 2d Company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. R. M. F, Sandford, was medically inspected at Fort Pitt, Chatham, prior to their embarkation at Portsmouth in a few days for the Mauritius, to relieve the 11th Company of Royal Engineers, ordered to return to England after 11 years of colonial service. The Admiralty yacht Vivid, Master-Commander Allen, yesterday embarked, off Woolwich-pier, 150 officers, non commissioned officers, and rank and file of the Royal Horse Artillery, in command of Col. the Hon. E. T. Gage, to un dergo a course of gunnery instruction at Shoeburyness. The Vivid sailed from the Royal Arsenal at eight o'clock, discharged her freight at Southend, embarked a battery of all equal number of the 13th brigade Royal Artillery, and returned to Woolwich at half•.past two. The battery was commanded by Major Roberts, A number of officers and seamen belonging to the Turk- Imperial war vessels Estonrel and Relepers Nusrett, now at Blackwell, about to be fitted with steam machinery, yes terday went down to Woolwich and delivered over the whole of their boats and other stores to the authorities of the dockyard. The officers and crews, numbering about 150 of all ranks, afterwards paraded outside the dockyard wall in charge of a senior lieutenant conversant with the English language. Their peculiar dress attracted a crowd, who followed them to the pier, where they took their berth on board one of the river steamers for Blackwell, The discovery has been made that a system of robbery has for some time past been carried on at the large manu facturing establishment known as the Government clothing stores, and a number of non-commissioned officers and soldiers have Leen apprehended and charged with possession of part of the stolen property. It appears that the frauds were first brought to light by Ling, a detective officer of the R division, and steps were then taken by the military police to search the residences of a number of Royal Artil lery soldiers. The result of this prompt action was that the suspected parties were found to have in their possession a large amount of eerge, flannel, cloth, calico, loather, S:c., unmanufactured into military clothing, in addition to a number of manufactured articles, the whole being branded with the broad arrow, and evidently Government property stolen from the clothing stores. At present ten persons employed at the establishment are in custody of the military police, and a most searching investi gation is being carried on, which it is believed will result in the apprehension of other delinquents, A statement of the facts has been forwarded to the authorities of the War De partment, and a military court of inquiry will be instituted to report on the matter. The first battalion of the 21st Regiment, which arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from the West Indies, disem barked from her Majesty's ecrew steamship Tamar, Capt. Sterling, yesterday morning, under the superintendence of Col. Shadwell, Deputy-Quartermaster-General, and were marched into quarters in the garrison in the Anglesea Barracks. The Tamar commenced coaling again yesterday, and this afternoon will embark the 61st Regiment for con veyance to Dublin. The 61st have just returned from the Channel Islands, the head-quarters being temporary quar tered in barracks in Portsmouth garrison, and the left wing being still on board her Majesty's steamer Geyser and the Lucifer tender, which vessels brought it across the Channel. The hired transport Forest Righte,which arrived at Spit head on Sunday from Bombay, discharged the troops she brought home into Government transports yesterday. They comprised Careens Sykes, Ist battalion 4th Regiment, in command; Lieut. Gardner, R.A, ; Lieutenant Hurd, 95th; Cornet Creagh, 6th Dragoons; Surg.--Major Marlow, in medical charge of invalids ; 79 time-expired men, 3 military convicts, 10 insane men, 138 invalids. The invalids were sent to the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley, and the re mainder to the depots of their respective regiments. The winter examination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, will take place on Thursday, the Ist of December; and for admission to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, on Monday, the 2d of January, 1865. Tht Royal Sovereign turret ship, Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., in dock at Portsmouth, is ordered to be fitted with a band of wooden sheathing at her water line, and the work has been commenced by the dockyard authorities. Iron straps 3in. wide by }in. in thickness and about 6ft. in length, and averaging about 30in. apart, will be fixed on the armour plating by iron screws tapped into the face of the armour plates. Over these iron straps will be laid 3-inch wooden sheathing, scored to receive the straps and fill in the space between them, which will be fixed to the straps by screw fastenings. Yesterday afternoon the men were just making a commencement in drilling the holes in the armour plates for the iron-strap fastenings, and, as some 2,000 of these have to be drilled, a pretty correct idea may be formed of the amount of work which has to be done be fore the ship can be again placed afloat, and her gunnery and other trials concluded. The officials fix the time when she will again leave the dockyard at "near" two weeks. It will be far nearer two months. The course taken by the A dmiralty with reference to the Royal Sovereign just at this juncture of her trials is most incomprehensible, as it will have the effect of deferring the ship's further trials until the autmnal gales have fairly set in, when, of course, they will have to be made under the most unfavourable circum stances. The screw steam gunboat Wizard, having been supplied with a new bowsprit, was taken on Saturday from Ilamoaze into Plymouth Sound, hut a leak having been discovered, she returned on Sunday to the Davenport Dockyard. The screw ateam•sloop Fawn. 17, Commander Charles Wrey, went on Sunday from Plymouth Sound into Ilamoaze to have some defects made good. The screw steam frigate Aurora, 35, Capt. Sir Loop%ld M'Clintock, from Scotland, arrived at Plymouth yesterday morning, and was appointed to go up Ramoaze in the after noon to have her machinery overhauled. The Dauntless, 31, left Great Yarmouth Roads on Sun day, after landing several coastguarderaen who had been exercising in the North Sea. We have been requested to state that the material used for coating the iron plates of the Royal Oak iron-eased frigate, as described in The Sun a few days since, was Hay's waterproof glue, prepared by the Patent Waterproof Glue Company, and that used on the bottom of the iron frigate Recruit was Hay's anti-fouling composition. The sailing ship Superb, 80, attached to the reserve at Chatham, will be towed out of Chatham harbour at day light this morning and navigated round to the Thames, where she is to be stationed for the use of the officers and crews of the Turkish steamvessels of war, the Estourel and the Relepers Nusrett, which have been sent to this coun try to be fitted with their engines and machinery.

The official Staate Anzeiger of to-day publishes the following test of the preliminaries of peace and the protocol of an armistice concluded in Vienna on the Ist August between the Plenipotentiaries of Prussia, Austria, and Denmark PRELIMINARIES OF PEACE. Present—On behalf of Austria, Count Rechberg, Baron Brenner ; on behalf of Denmark, M. de Quaade, Colonel Haufmann ; on behalf of Prussia, M. de Bismark, Baron Werther. MM. the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Denmark, and Prussia having met in conference to-day at the hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and their respective powers having been found good and in due form, have agreed upon the following prelimi naries of peace :- 1. His Majesty the King of Denmark renounces all his rights to the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg in favour of their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria, engaging to recognise the arrangements their said Majesties shall make in respect of those Duchies. 2. The cession of the Duchy of Schleswig com prehends all the islands belonging to that duchy, as well as the territory situated upon the mainland. To simplify the boundary question and put an end to the inconveniences resulting from the posis tion of Jutland territory situated within Schleswig, his Majesty the King of Denmark cedes to their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria the Jutland possessions situated in the south of the southern frontier line of the district of Ribe laid down upon the maps, such as the Jutland ter ritory of Mogeltondern, the Island of Amazon, the Jutland portions of the islands of Fohr, Sy lt, and Roms, &c. On the other hand their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria consent that an equivalent portion of Schleswig, comprising, in addition to the Island of Arroe, the territories con. netting the above-mentioned district of Ribe with the remainder of Jutland, and rectifying the frontier line between Jutland and Schleswig from the side of Kolding, shall be detatched from the duchy of Schleswig and incorporated in the kingdom of Den mark. The Island of Arroe will not make part of the compensation by reason of its geographical extent, The details of the demarcation of the frontiers shall be settled by the definite treaty of peace. 3. Th . !, debts contracted upon a special account, whether of the kingdom of Denmark, or of one of the duchies of Schleswig Holstein, and Lauen burg, will remain respectively at the charge of each of thoso cone trier. D3bta aantracted for account of tha Danish mo narchy shall be divided between the Kingdom of Denmark upon one hand and the ceded duchies upon the other in proportion to the population of the two parts. From this re-distribution are excepted :-1. The loan contracted in England by the Danish Govern• went in the month of December, 1863, which is to remain at the charge of the kingdom of Denmark. 2. The war expenses incurred by the allied Powers, the repayment of which will be undertaken by the Duchies. 4. The high contracting parties engage to estw blish an armistice upon the basis of the military ut possidetis, dating from the 2d August, the condi tions of which will be found specified in the next protocol. 6. Immediately after the signature of these pre. liminaries of peace the high contracting parties will meet at Vienna to negotiate a definite treaty of peace, Done at Vienna this Ist August, 1864. (Signed) VON BISMARCK KAUFFMANN: W ERTHER. COUNT RECHBERG. QUAADE. BRENNER. PROTOCOL RESPECTING THE CONDITIONS OF THE ARMISTICE. In execution of Article 4 of the preliminaries of peace, signed this day between his Majesty the King of Denmark upon the one part, and their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria upon the other, the undersigned pleni potentiaries assembled in conference have agreed to the following conditions 1. Dating from the 2d of August nest, there shall be a complete suspension of hostilities by land and by sea, which shall last until the conclusion of peace. In case, contrary to all expectation, the negotiation of a peace should not be effected before the 15th September next, the high contracting par• pies will be at liberty after that date to terminate :he armistice in six weeks' time. 2. His Majesty the King of Denmark engages definitively to raise the blockade after the 2d of August. 3. Their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria, while maintaining the occupa tion of Jutland under the existing conditions of the ye t possidetis, declare themselves ready to keep in that country no larger number of troops than their Majesties may judge necessary according to purely military considerations. 4. The levy of contributions, in so far as it has yet been carried into effect, is suspended. Goods or other objects seized as such war contributions, and not sold prior to August 3, will be returned. Fresh levies of contributions will not be ordered. 5. The provisionment of the allied troops will be furnished at the expense of Jutland, conformably with the Prussian and Austrian provisioning regu lations in operation for each of the allied armies upon the war footing. The lodging of the troops and officials connected with the army, as well as the means of transport for the use of the army, shall equally be furnished at the expense of Jutland. 6. The surplus of the ordinary revenue of Jut. land in the public treasuries of that country, after the costs of the different supplies and requisites above mentioned have been repaid by such treasuries to the communes charged with furnishing them, and after the necessary expenses of administration have been equally defrayed from their funds, shall be handed over to the Danish Government, either in money or by way of set off, at the time of the eve °nation of Jutland. 7. The pay of the allied troops, including the ex traordinary war pay, is excluded from the expenses chargeable upon Jutland. 8. Prisoners of war and political prisoners will be set at liberty upon promise that the prisoners of war will not serve in the Danish army before the con clusion of peace. The liberation of the prisoners will take place at the earliest possible period at the ports of Swinemunde and Lubeck. 9. Dani,t•heoldiere allowed to visit Jutland during Trial Trip of the Connector, A steam-ship constructed upon a novel principle made its trial trip yesterday from Tilbury do An the Thames, and up the Medway to Chatham, with very satisfactory results. The mode in which the ship is constructed is in effect that of a train of vessels, each connected closely together by a bolt, which becomes separate and can be removed at pleasure, and eac h of the sections d or is p ti a n r e t t s, vwehsesenlsdisficottnend with ected masts and rigging, and may be readily provided with steering apparatus. The object which the inventor has in view in this mode of construction is to afford greater facilities for the cheap carriage of coal. It is con tended that by the use of the " connector" consider able saving may be effected, inasmuch as on arriv ing at the port of discharge the more expensive parts of the ship, that containing the engines and accommodation for the officers and crews, may be detached and started immediately on the return voyage while the hulk is being discharged. By the time the return portion of the ship has reached a northern port it will find the other sections ready laden, and on being connected with the propelling part may at once start on its voyage. In this man ner one steam engine and one set of officers may be made to do the work of three colliers—one will be loading, another unloading, and a third making the voyage. In addition to the advantage in point of economy, it is claimed for the invention that its motion is much easier than in ordinary vessels, as the point of connection between the different sec tions enables it to follow the motion of the water. It has also this further advantage, that heavy car goes, say of 1,000 tone, may be carried in ships of the ordinary construction with an equal capacity for cargo. The Connector, which made what is called a "trial trip" yesterday, had already been tested over upwards of 4,000 miles of ocean naviga tion, and has been found i❑ both these respects fully to answer the expectations of its inventor. We may speak confidently as to the easy motion of the vessel yesterday, and of the entire absence of any thing like that vibration which is felt in all steam vessels. It is proposed to build colliers upon this system which will carry 1,000 tons of coal, and the promoters of a company which has just been formed the of 0 ,i-Ning out the invention speak very confidently of the success of their enterprise. THE VOLUNTEERS. The London Artillery Corps carried out at Plum. stead on Saturday its periodical fortnightly gun practice, and made some excellent firing. This bri• Bade has, by permission of the War Office and the Court of Lieutenancy, made a very desirable change in its head quarters, and now possesses a very con venient orderly room at Old Swan-lane, London bridge (109, Upper Thames-street.) Recruits are there drilled daily between half-past 4 and 8 p.m. Oa Saturday afternoon last the Tower Hamlets Volunteers were inspected in the park attached to Gidca-Hall, Hare-street, near Rumford, the seat of Mr J .

The shooting throughout was excellent. On Saturday the most important review of Volun teers which will be held this autumn in the Eastern Counties took place at Harwich and Dovercourt. The locality is bounded en three sides by water— on the north by the River Stour; on the east by the broad and spacious harbour formed by the conflu ence of the Stour and the Orwell ; and on the south by the German Ocean. The ent rance to the h ar b our is commanded by an extensive fortification, known as the redoubt, around which is thrown up a very largo mound of earth, apparently close to the walls, but in reality separated from them by a wide ditch, crossed at one point only by a drawbridge, which, as this work was intended to be one of the main points of attack and defence, was prepared to be raised. The garrison on this occasion consisted of four artil lery corps—viz., 21 Middlesex, 170 strong, Capt. Cox, who as senior officer had the general command; Ist Essex (Harwich), 50, Capt. Daniels; 3d Essex (Greys), 50, Capt. Banes; and 2d Suff o lk (I psw i ch), 29, Lieut. Cobbold, constituting a force of nearly 300. On Beacon-hill. still nearer to the mouth of the harbour, was established a three gun battery, worked by a detachment of Colonel Palmer's Essex Yeomanry Artillery, under the command of Capt. M‘Gorrey ; and at about half a mile distance on the Dovercourt cliffs was posted another detachment of the same force with a battery of six guns, under the command of Captain Edenborough and Captain Cator, The latter with Ulu Ist Esint Engineers Pis....PElt i i ; A Io*e , the armistice shall ?ie aliowefi 'to retuin'-" ' lf, $50,..

We have no means of knowi ng h ow they get on in the Southern army. In the We e k' s records to July 16th, upwards of 120 officers are mentioned as being cnetiered or "dishonourably dismissed," with the offences npeeifieri in escll case. The most common, perhaps, is drunkenness. On the whole, the list is a curious study. C a p ta i n Powers is dismissed for "treachery and cowardice ;" Captain Jolly, or tendering his resignation on a surgeon's certificate that he was a confirmed ine briate; many dismissed for abst)nco without le m 3; others for c,;aduct unbecoming an officer and a ger. tleman, such as horse-atealin g , and keeping money belonging to their men; others for desertion. Donald Gillies is dismissed " fcor having tendered his resignation on the ground that a wound re ceived at Gattysburg had so intimidated him that he has become constitutionally a coward, and unfit to lead his comrany into action." One unlucky officer's dismissal for absence without leave is re. yoked, as it h as b een " discovered he was killed in action," and so could not report: Em bezzlement of Government property is a very rare offence. " Tyrannical and ea?. ricious conduct" costs one John Walta'rs his commission in the Kentucky cavalti ; and Lieutenant Cole is dismissed for en listing sailors in the service of a Pr:eign power. Lieut. John D ev i ne - Comes to grief for ordering the house to be burned ; Capt.. Millar for taking arms from fugitive slaves for his own men; Capt. Alfred Brooks for representirig himself to be sick and wounded ; Capt. Ross Deegan for playing cards with his men. Many also are dis missed for disobedience of orders and disrespect to superiors, and a batch of officers in a Mi ssouri cavalry regiment is turned out for not suppressing a mutiny. Lieut. David is turned out for cruelty to his coloured troops. In many cases the sentence, &c., is ordered to be published in the local papers where the culprit came from. Spriggs, 116th Ohio, is dishonourably dismissed for uttering disrespect ful and contemptuous language against " Old Abo,n alias the President of the United States. Ma jor Hill is to be publicly stripped of the insignia, of rank inghe presence of all the coloured troops at Port Hudson, and to be confined as a convict with hard labour on the Dry Tortugas for a year, "for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman." Altogether the sentences are what might 'be ex.. petted, and show a state of things for which we might be prepared if we considered the mode in which this enormous army has been raised and officered. No officer of the regular United States army figures in the list.—Army and Navy/ Gazette. Thames National Regatta, This regatta took place yesterday at Putney under the management cf the Thames Subscription Club. The wea ther was all that could he desired for the purpose, for although the heat was intense, it was tempered by a re freshing breeze, which played throughout the afternoon along the surface of the river. Crowds of persons thronged the banks on each side of the prescribed :course, which lay between Putney and Chiswick, and small craft of every de scription plied about it as busy as bees. A little above the Star and Garter, the pretty little steamer of the Regatta Committee, the Venus, lay moored, and as each race was decided the colours Of the winner were hoisted on board. Conspicuous above them all, however, was the scarlet coat and the silver badge which was to be the reward of the victor in the Watermen , s Apprentices' Race, and which was displayed in all ite untarnished brilliancy from the summit of a lofty pole. The Citizen Steamboat Childe Harold was throughout the day in communication with the Venus, and draughted its visitors away as each race began, so that they might be spectators of the contest :rem the start to th close. The regatta opened es ith the Champion Four-Oar Race, which was open to all cornero. the prizes being £".00 fer the first boat, C2O for the second, and LIO for the third. Fer this race six boats were entered, and inasmuch an it was deemed impos'ible, owing to the many ob structions on the river, that they could all row at the same time, it was determined that there should be two trial heats, in each of which three out of the six boats should compete ; the first two boats in each heat to be selected to row a final and decisive race. At a quarter post 3 o'clock—the hour fixed for starting for the first heat, however, it was found that only two out of the three boats entered were at their posts, and these two we started, but as they, having no competitor for either first or second place, must, in accordance with the conditions laid down be eligible to take part in the deciding heat, the race though fairly rowed was not so keenly contested as would other. wise have been the case. The competitors in the first race were :- I.—Colleen Bann Crew, Manchester—Green. M. Abdy G. Williamson R. Abdy f S. Butler W. Davill, cox. 2.—Confidence Crew, Richmond—Pink. J. Callas W. Harper H. Hartlebury J. Glover C. Messum, cox. The Manchester crew set off from Putney-bridge with the load, which they maintained without any apparent effort to the close at Chiswick Eyot, winning by three or four lengths. In the next heat, also, only two boats started instead of three, aswas expected, and for the same reason as operated in the previous heat, their respective crews did riot find it necessary to exert themselves in order to secure a place in the final struggle. The boats engaged in the second heat wore— I.—Pride of the Thames Crew—White, red sleeves, T. Hoare, Hammersmith I J. W. Ta gg , M ou l sey H. Kelly. Putney G. Hammerton, Surbiton W. Hammerton, cox. 2.—Tyno Crew, Newcastle—White. J. Taylor I U. Winship T. Matfia M. Taylor T. Harrison, cox. Both boats rowed very evenly together for about 200 yards, and then the Pride of the Thames drew slightly ahead, and continued the lead to the end of the course. Up to this point the excitement was of a very mild character, but when after the lapse of two or three hours, during which time cccasion was taken to row the preliminary heats of one er two minor races, the four crews already mentioned brought themselves into line for the final heat, there was considerable speculation as to the result. The Tyne boat had many warm admirers, but the Pride of the Thames crew were clearly tho favourites, for did they not number among them that veteran oarsman Kelly who had so often tri umphed on those waters before? The Manchester crew, too, were held in much esteem, nor did they show them. selves unworthy the good opinion of their backers. The start was effected in admirable order, the Tyne boat after the first few yards taking the lead, which, however, it maintained but for a very short distance. Gradually, but surely, the Pride of the Thames gained upon her, and when Hammersmith-bridge was reached Kelly and his crew were more than four lengths ahead. Here, too, the Manchester crew, which hitherto had occupied only third place, chal lenged the Tyne men, and after a gallant struggle succeeded in passing them. By this time the Richmond crew h ad lost caallmcehanoncion, theand the other three following rder boats,: Pride of the Thames .. 1 Colleen Bawn •• •• • • .. 2 Tyne crew .. • . •••.• • • • .. 3 order:— after a splendid race, There was considerable cheering when the result was known, The next race was one open to watermen's apprentices, from Oxford to Gravesend inclusive, in outrigged boats, the first prize being the coat and silver badge which were ex hibited on board the Venue, the freedom of the Thames and £2; 2d, £5; 3d, £3; 4th, £l. The winners of the pre liminary heats in this contest were T. Wise, Hammersmith, J. Biffen, Hammersmith, R. Platt, Thames-bank, and W. Spencer, Chelsea. In the final heat Platt got away with a good lead, and for a b out 200 yards contested every inch moat spiritedly with W ise. The latter, however, was ulti mately the winner by two lengths. In the sculling race, which was open to all corners, the preliminary heats were won by E. Eagars, of Chelsea , H. Kelly, of Putney; .E.seph Sadler, of Putney, and T. Hoare of Hammersmith occupying the second place and thus being entitled to take part in the final heat, a chance of which H. Cole, of Chelsea, who at the time was rowing quite even with Kelly, was deprived, owing to his having run foul of a craft lying in the river. The final heat was won with apparent ease by Belly, Sadler bein g secon d , Hoare third, L agers f o urth. The filet prize was £2O, th e second £lO, the third £5 The only other race was a pair oars race, which like the majority of the preceding, was opea to the world.
